[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you have a standard office job, it should be fine.  [b]If you have any special considerations, such as working with religiously diverse clients who might be put off by it, that could be a reason not to wear it at work.[/b]  But generally that should fall into personal expression and be OK.

Would you say the same thing to a Muslim woman, asking if it would be OK to wear a hijab to work?[/quote]

Not PP, but I think a hijab is different because women who wear it usually feel it's a requirement of their faith, like Jewish men who wear a kippah or religious women of various faiths who dress modestly (long sleeves/pants/skirts). I've never heard that wearing a cross is a religious requirement of any faith, as opposed to a personal expression of faith.

I wear a Star of David myself, around the office, but not to court arguments or interviews. And if I were in private practice and had religious clients of another religion, I might not wear it so as to not make them uncomfortable. For me it is optional. However, if I were Orthodox, I would not alter my expression of faith for any of these scenarios.
